Manzanares River

Highlight • River

The Manzanares is a river in the central Iberian Peninsula, a right tributary of the Jarama, which in turn is a tributary of the Tagus. This river, which flows entirely through the Community of Madrid (Spain), rises in the Guadarrama mountain range, in the Ventisquero de la Condesa—the southern slope of the Cuerda Larga, near the Bola del Mundo—and flows through the city of Madrid. It empties into the Jarama River, in the municipality of Rivas-Vaciamadrid, after a journey of 92 kilometers.
The river hosts different ecosystems and flows through areas of great environmental value, which have received different levels of protection. Its upper basin, from its source to El Pardo Mountain (including La Pedriza), constitutes the Upper Manzanares Basin Regional Park, with an area of 52,796 hectares. Its lower course is also protected, within the Southeast Regional Park.
In its urban course, the Manzanares River is the result of decades of channeling and damming work. However, in 2016, the river level was returned to its original level near Madrid by opening the regulating floodgates, resulting in an increase in biological diversity in this section.

Camino de Uclés marker on the Manzanares River

Highlight • Monument

The landmarks and signs of the Uclés path show Manuel Rossi's passion for this Jacobean route. Many of them, if not all, have been created by Manuel himself, their rediscoverer, and are characterized by the cross of Santiago and its red arrows. In addition, they are full of messages of encouragement to the pilgrims.
